Light down jacket

The North Face Flash Down Jacket - Women's

The North Face Flash Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 23, 2009

I really like this jacket because it is warm, but light. The 900 down fill is super warm but not overbearing. I really like the two side zip pockets because stuff doesn't fall out of them when I ski. The collar is pretty high and has a fleece lining that actually pretty soft. This down jacket can definatley handle cold weather.

So soft!

Oakley Cross Country Tank - Women's

Oakley Cross Country Tank - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 April 23, 2009

This tank top is sooo soft. The material is like butter. You don't have to wear a bra with it, which is nice and the back is super flattering. It's a really long length, which is in these days, and the two-layer material looks super cool.

This thing ROCKS!!

Smith Premise Helmet

Smith Premise Helmet

Rating for this product: 5 December 18, 2006

This helmet is completely awesome. I've skied forever and thought I'd better finally get one to protect my noggin. I was worried that it would be heavy and uncomfortable...BOY WAS I WRONG!! The Premise is super lightweight. You don't really even feel like you're wearing a helmet. In fact, it feels much lighter than my bike helmet. It's also super duper comfortable. The mesh ear pads are SO soft, and the chin strap has padding that doesn't irritate at all. The other sweet thing about this ski helmet is that it's SO SO warm! I went out in 10-degree, super windy weather this past weekend and my head didn't feel a thing. It was cozy and warm. When the weather gets warmer, I can open the Premise's vents to let some air in. I can't say enough great things about this thing...Smith hit the nail on the head with this helmet.

Love 'EM!

Smith Transit Regulator Series Goggle

Smith Transit Regulator Series Goggle

Rating for this product: 5 December 18, 2006

I was in serious need of some new goggles and decided to try the Transit because they have a small fit, and I am a girl with small features. I took them out this past weekend, and they are awesome!! They are SO comfortable. The foam feels so soft against your face. They also didn't fog up for one instant. I mean ZERO fog--even when I walked indoors! I was skiing in pretty brutal conditions--tons of wind, snow, freezing temperatures--and my eyes were totally protected, and my view was clear the entire time. I wore them with my Smith helmet and didn't have any gaper gap at all. These are highly recommended.

Great for school

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag

Rating for this product: 5 December 12, 2006

This bag is ideal for a school bag. You can fit lots of books and notebooks in it. It also has interior pockets for your pens and calculator. The exterior pocket holds my cell phone easily and makes it super easy to get at. The shoulder strap would be more comfortable with a pad but other than that, it's great!! I've used it on my bike before and it's awesome.

Totally comfy

Patagonia Capilene 2 V-Neck Long-Sleeve - Women's

Patagonia Capilene 2 V-Neck Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 12, 2006

I love this base layer. I've taken it on every long backpacking trip I've ever taken and it's always been awesome. I really wicks well...and I mean well. Plus, it dries soo fast. You can give it a quick dip in the lake and lay it in the sun...it'll be dry like minutes later. I love wearing this to bed at night when I'm camping because it keeps me warm but I don't get too hot.

prAna Athena Sport Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2006

I really like how this fits. It's not super tight across the bust like most built-in-bra tank tops. The pattern is super cool and unique and it's a little long, which I like.

Great for long trips

Asolo Stynger GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

Asolo Stynger GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2006

I took these on a two-week backpack trip to Isle Royale. The trails there are burly and these stood up to the test. Through mud, beaver ponds, rocky exposed areas...everything. My pack weighed around 55lbs but my feet felt so cushioned that it didn't matter. I'd done this same hike before in other boots and ended up with debilitating blisters...not so with these boots. I broke them in before I went and I was just fine.

Great Running Tights!!

CW-X Expert Tight - Women's

CW-X Expert Tight - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 22, 2006

I really like running in these tights. When I got them and took them out of the package, I was a bit skeptical, as they looked like they were shrunk in the wash. I got up the courage and tried them on. To my amazement, they fit! And they were comfortable! They have a really tight ankle, which makes them tough to get on, (an ankle zipper would be nice) but other than that, they are quite comfortable. They don't bunch at the waist, (a personal pet peeve) and they support my knees, hips, and quads easily. They are quite warm when it's cold out and wick sweat when the sun shows its face. I've had zero chaffing trouble with these, and they're quite striking to look at--a.k.a--they make your butt look pretty good.

Fantastic Multisport Sunglasses

Smith Factor Interchangeable Sunglasses - Polarchromic

Smith Factor Interchangeable Sunglasses - Polarchromic

Rating for this product: 5 November 22, 2006

I really like these sunglasses. I use them when I go for a road ride and when I run. They are extremely lightweight! The nose pads stick to your face like crazy, even when you're sweating. The photochromic thing is cool too. Although you can't really tell when it's happening, they do get darker or lighter, depending on the light conditions. I highly suggest them to any althete...or anyone for that matter!

Great running short

GoLite Terrain Shorts - Women's

GoLite Terrain Shorts - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 25, 2006

These are wonderful running shorts. They have wide legs that don't bunch up, and the waist doesn't pinch. The back pocket is super handy for gels, and the front zip pocket holds my keys and credit cards securely. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them and plan on purchasing another pair.

Awesome monitor

Nike Timing Imara Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Nike Timing Imara Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Rating for this product: 5 July 8, 2006

Love this women's heart rate monitor. The watch part is so much smaller than the others I've had and can actually be worn as a watch without looking gigantic. Everything works wonderfully and I love the "data" function. Toggle to that function after your workout and you get all the pertinent information--calories, max HR, time etc. I highly suggest this monitor. I love it!

Best Ever

Smith Toaster Sunglasses - Interchangeable

Smith Toaster Sunglasses - Interchangeable

Rating for this product: 5 June 19, 2006

These are the best sunglasses ever. I have gone through three pairs and I've loved all three. They handle abuse well and will fit a small face to perfection. The sticky parts on the nose piece are ideal for running. They don't slip down at all and they're super lightweight. Plus, they come in a ton of rad colors. Get them!
